Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Elijah said unto her, fear not,.... That she and her son should die, it would not be the case:
go and do as thou hast said: mix her meal and her oil, and make a cake thereof, and bake it:
but make thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son: which was not said from a selfish spirit of the prophet, but to try the faith of the woman; and besides, as Abarbinel observes, the prophet was not only hungry and thirsty through his journey, and so required to be served first, but it was for the sake of his sustenance, that the Lord would command a blessing on the meal and oil; wherefore, if she dressed it for herself and her son first, there would have been none left for the divine blessing to descend upon.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 17:13. But make me thereof a little cake first — This was certainly putting the widow's faith to an extraordinary trial: to take and give to a stranger, of whom she knew nothing, the small pittance requisite to keep her child from perishing, was too much to be expected.
